Novel in-capillary polymeric monoliths arising from glycerol carbonate methacrylate for flow-through catalytic and chromatographic applications

Abstract

In-capillary reactive polymer monoliths have been prepared from glycerol carbonate methacrylate functional monomers. Following functionalization with suitable ligands and eventually after immobilization of metallic nanoparticles, these materials can be successfully employed as supports for chromatographic applications or microreactors for flow-through catalysis.
